Last year I used homeschool tracker to create my 1st grade dd assignment sheets. I still like the idea of using this to help plan out the year, but I want to involve her more on creating her assignment chart. What is the best way to do this with a LG (who can read and write well, but hates to write?)

My first-grader, toward the end of the year, had a text file which listed his normal assignments (math, science, and so forth). Every week he would go in there are modify it a bit. For his reading assignments, he mostly type abbrevations, like BF for Benjamin Franklin. And he would change the page numbers, for math and things. Then we'd print it out. It worked fine for us, although I'm pretty sure we'll do it differently this fall.

I'd still take the lead with the assignment sheets with a young grammar student. I'd invite her input. She might feel that Tuesdays are better for literature or something along that line. I wouldn't have her do all of her assignment sheet until she's ready for D level work. You mentioned that she doesn't like writing and writing things down might bother her (I know that it would with some of my boys.). Having her get in the habit of a checklist or a plan for her week is great, but she will need a lot of hand holding now. When she's doing R level work, it'll be so natural for her to plan her time out by taking the little steps now.

My R level students receive a list of what needs to be done, but they decide when. They know when the deadline is and there are consequences for missing a deadline. Time management is a great life skill to build in your child while using TOG.


Blessings to you and your family.
